Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

@artscaping - I stopped after just one dose of Prolia in January 2021 because Inread so many horror stories, and my doctor didn’t put me on any relay drug. She said I cannot take the bisphosphonates (Actonel, Didrocal, etc.) because I already had been on the for several years. I wonder if it would be safe for me to go on Evenity after stopping the Prolia over a year ago …? 🤔 My doctor seems very annoyed that I refused to continue with Prolia and doesn’t seem too communicative on this subject. 🤷🏼‍♀️

My dear @rashida, I will admit to you that I am considering stopping Prolia after 1 year which will be up in May. I am having some of the same reactions I had with Boniva and other bisphosphonates even though Prolia is not a bisphosphonate. Both my PCP and I are keeping an eye out for new information. She is researching Evista and I am researching Evenity. I read just last week that Evenity can now be taken for two years. Remember that Evenity does both jobs.......creates new bone and then protects it from being destroyed. If that is true, and we are just guessing, then you could do two years of Evenity ........then another what you call relay drug......then back to Evenity .......etc. etc.

I will see if there is anything more in the literature. If you find something mentioned about that possibility with Evenity, please post me here on Connect. I get so discouraged with the limited options available to those of us who are extremely sensitive to so many of the osteoporosis medications.

Other than that......get ready to enjoy springtime. Let's stay in touch.
May you have peace and contentment.

Just had my 8th Prolia injection. Most of the big jump in improvement is at the beginning but I continue to show improvement based on the dexa scan this week.
